Henry Moore Jr., 32, of Columbus, Ohio, was shot and killed on July 3, 2022, at the Sterling Court Apartments on the city’s East Side. He was remembered by family and friends as outgoing and devoted to studying the Quran.

Investigators concluded the shooting was retaliatory after an earlier January 2022 incident in which Moore had shot the man later identified as the shooter. The person found responsible was Keith Coleman, 27, of the South Linden neighborhood; Coleman was convicted of aggravated murder and murder, and both convictions carried a three-year gun specification. He received a life sentence with no possibility of parole for at least 35 years.

Moore’s death underscores how retaliation can escalate into fatal violence and the heavy toll it takes on families and communities. If anyone knew Henry, witnessed events at Sterling Court Apartments on July 3, 2022, or has information relevant to this case, please come forward.
